Big Brother Naija’s tenth season saw dramatic twists during its Sunday night eviction show, aired on August 10, 2025, as the reality series inches closer to crowning a winner for its historic ₦150 million ($360,000) grand prize. Two housemates, Danboskid and Ibifubara, exited the competition, while tensions rose for Denari, who narrowly escaped elimination.
The live broadcast, hosted by seasoned presenter Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, opened with the eviction of Danboskid, a contestant who quickly became a fan favorite for his charismatic persona. Addressing the audience after his exit, Danboskid revealed plans to transition into Nollywood, Nigeria’s thriving film industry, stating, “This experience has shown me the power of storytelling. I’m ready to chase my dreams on the big screen.” His farewell included a tender exchange with Zita, a fellow housemate with whom he had formed a romantic connection during the show, sparking cheers from the studio audience.
Ibifubara, the second evictee, struck a more reflective tone during her exit interview. While acknowledging respect for remaining contestants Otega and Bright Morgan—calling them “remarkable individuals”—she emphasized prioritizing entrepreneurial ventures. “I’m excited to launch my podcast and build my hair care brand,” she said. “This journey taught me resilience, and I’m taking that energy into my next chapter.”
Amid the eliminations, housemate Rooboy earned recognition as the “Most Influential Player” of the week, a title awarded for his strategic gameplay and ability to sway house dynamics. His win, determined by audience votes, highlights the growing fan engagement shaping the competition.
The stakes were equally palpable for Denari, who avoided eviction by a slim margin. Placing third-lowest in viewer votes, his survival underscores the unpredictability of public sentiment in the high-stakes contest. With two evictions completed, 27 participants remain in the race, vying for Africa’s largest reality TV prize.
Big Brother Naija, renowned for blending entertainment with cultural relevance, continues to dominate viewing rankings across the continent and among global diasporic audiences. Season 10’s record-breaking prize and heightened drama reflect the show’s evolution into a platform for launching careers in entertainment and entrepreneurship. As alliances shift and new challenges arise, the spotlight intensifies on the housemates’ strategies to outlast rivals and claim victory in one of television’s most-watched competitions.
